Why Early Access?

“We are planning on making this game a good experience for every player.
To achieve this, we decided to let the community help us with feedback.
The game wouldn't be as good if we were to make it just by ourselves.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It took us about one year to get from the very first pre-alpha version to the current version.
The game will leave Early Access as soon as we reach version 1.0.0 which we hope will be finished in less then a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will have more content and features.
We want our game to be fun to play with a lot of features already packed to play
out of the box for players that aren't interested in modding and just want a solid game.
Also, the full game will have dedicated servers and a matchmaking system, aswell as full support for custom, user generated content.
We want to improve the singleplayer experience by continuing the story of WBTR in future episodes.
The main game will be split in an official part, where we are hosting "vanilla" games,
to make finding opponents seamless and give you a fun time.
On the other hand, you will get all tools needed to make your own experience
with built-in mod support and full integration of the Steam Workshop.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game right now is very much playable, but is lacking in content.
There are still some bugs and we didn't reach the polishing phase yet.
Many of the assets used right now are placeholders but will be replaced as soon as we have the funding to afford custom made assets.
The mod support and the core gameplay is implemented but unfinished.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. But we won't raise the price in any way after full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We always have an open ear for feedback and especially Early Access should help the game get on the right track.
You as a player have a very big impact on the development of WBTR. Players are going to have the ability to show concepts and ideas to everyone, including us developers.
We want to be more in touch with the community, so we are going to look at players' opinions and suggestions to make WBTR a game that is always fun to play!
